Competitive benchmarking (MPT, Ooredoo, Telenor, Mytel), Myanmar

Introduction and Background

Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications and KDDI Summit Global Myanmar Company Limited, a company with its principal office in Yangon called ?MPT/KSGM?, are the leading operator of mobile telecommunications services in Myanmar.

As part of MPTs efforts to continually improve user experience and network quality, MPT/KSGM, selected Innovis for Benchmarking Service covering cities, towns, points of Interest and roads across the nation’s 18 regions.

User experience over four nationwide mobile networks (MPT, Telenor Myanmar, Ooredoo Myanmar and Mytel) shall be benchmarked by drive testing and walk testing.

Project Requirement

  • Various Test cases for all 4 operators ? voice, data, video streaming
  • Test phones that can support VoLTE, LTE 4×4 MIMO and LTE CA (Carrier Aggregation)
  • All test devices shall support at least, but not limited to, GSM900, UMTS900, LTE900, UMT2100, LTE2100 and LTE1800 systems.
  • Cluster benchmarking reports of various KPIs and plots.
  • RF Analysis report
  • Comparison Analysis

Innovis Approach

  • After the towns/cities and the specific benchmarking parameters to be measured had been agreed with MPT, Innovis conducted the drive tests and collected the relevant data.
  • Data was analysed by Innovis? experts using state of the art tools. Based on their analysis, a comprehensive benchmarking report was generated for each city.
  • Key network parameters for each operator were benchmarked against requirements of license conditions.
  • Analysis reports were prepared as per agreed format with MPT.
